[HPFGU-Movie] Re: commentary?

[Sherry Gomes]

I really like commentaries.  If I've already seen the movie, I just consider
the commentaries as an informational thing.  Well, I am blind, so with
people talking over he movie, obviously, I'm getting nothing out of it!  But
I love to hear what the actors and directors say.  I love the actors'
commentaries for LOTR.  I first discovered commentaries with the movie
Apollo 13, when I managed to bring it up by accident, playing the DVD on my
computer.  You know, DVD menus are usually completely inaccessible for blind
people.  But I was so impressed with the amount of work Ron Howard and his
staff did to ensure accuracy in telling the story of Apollo 13, that I
became quite a fan of commentaries.  That is, when I can grab a sighted
person to get them started for me!

Pardon my ignorance, but by commentary, do you mean when the actors and
director are talking over the movie while it's playing? I hate that! I find
it distracting. Even though I know there is also the movie on the DVD
without the commentary, it's kinda disturbing.
But then again...I watched LOTR with commentary, and thought it was pretty
interesting when "Frodo-Elijah" pointed out his sister in one of the scenes.
She's gorgeous...how can a family have such beautiful kids? But I
digress...so basically I just negated my first comment. I guess commentaries
have their place and I have to be in the mood for it...carry on!  :-)

Also, remember that the actors don't really have the time for a
commentary, as they've been working fairly steadily on the films (and
of course going to school as well).

Better no commentary than an unwilling commentary. Those are torture.
